That's true Buzz. I almost forgot about the depression that benzos can cause
My new doctor told me that long term benzo use -besides the addiction and horrible,horrible withdrawal- benzos can and do make people depressed. I went thru that. I suppose benzos have there place, but boy oh boy they can be dangerous. I think that they shouldn't be prescribed for more than a week also.
Being an addict I can't have those things around me ....quite honestly I might very well gulp them all down, Even with about 115 days clean....I just can't be around them....IMHO, there just too addictive. Good luck my friend.
